Raritan/Passaic headwater Brown trout

[thmyorke1]

Stocked streams have been running high ever since november 3rd.
Fortunately WTS clear up fast, and between the frequent monsoons the last two weeks I went out 3 times for trout.

Still havent cross a brookie off the list, but still have plenty of WTS to explore
as long as the weather stays nonlethal this winter.

All caught on 2 lb test, barbless jigs, most with tiny white mister twister, a few on black/olive marabou.
jigs i use are have these trout magnet sized hooks but have a lot of lead on them, like 1/16th oz, really useful for getting down into plunge pools, dont need to mess around with splitshots.








Thorns have been a pain in the BUTT so bring handled hedge clippers
